ON THE MOVE...SORT OF

This past week has been very busy (which is why I still have not posted about our trip back to Houston!) which means that I have enjoyed it a lot. The girls seem to really like to get out and about and have a lot of stuff to do/see. We had a story/music time at the library which the girls seem to like a lot. The books they read are always so cute. I think I am going to purchase the Counting Kisses book....much better than Goodnight Moon (which they hear every night!)

Brooke standing at her toy...she can pull up to standing on this one...love the tights!!

I joined a MOPS group and we had our meeting on Thursday. There was a nutritionist that was our speaker and she was interesting. We made a craft where we painted a flower pot to look like candy corn (though as it turns out there was quite a bit of debate as to what the correct order was.) And the girls were little stars in the nursery. The lady said that they were very cute cause Audrey would bang on her tray, Brooke was bounce up and down and smile, and then Audrey would laugh at Brooke...and they kept doing that over and over.

Playing together.

Audrey went back to the doctor for her head. The doctor agreed that it looked worse (I tried to get him to say that it was to worst he had ever seen, but he would not go that far.) He took a culture to find out what kind of infection it is and put her on different antibiotics (which she HATES) and said we need to go see a dermatologist. Poor baby. But it doesn't seem to bother her unless we have to touch it.

All smiles with her little bear...she holds him so cute in her crib!

We also had company this week. Starting Wednesday, our friends Crystal and Eric came to visit. On Saturday we went to a big fall festival and there will be a separate post on that.

Brooke is on her knees here and is still close to Audrey's height!

And to relate back to the title of this blog: Brooke sat up from her tummy this week! She has done it a couple of times, so it doesn't seem to just be a fluke. Also this week, Audrey discovered that two of her toys actually move...the hippo and a walker (the walker had been pushed against a wall until this week). So a great deal of time has been spent pushing them around....both on her knees and some actually on her feet.

Here is a video from the second day of pushing her toys. She has gotten much better about staying on her feet. Please ignore Brooke's noise in the background. Whenever the camera comes out, they quit doing what they were or quit being super cute so this is the best I have.

Moving around is such hard work - but look at the results. Soon nothing on table tops will be safe! Good job, Audrey!
